The audience of 300 was select one made

An extraordinary talent - "A charm
ing voice " "A second Semhrich ~ These
and many other similar remarks were heard
floating through the purlors Of Frauleins
Gotze and Won kotzehue ON the evening of
Feb. 20, Miss Mary Howe is the name of
the singing star now rising, who. by her
beauty and perfect singing, compelled the
most thoughtful friends of art to the warm
est applause, Miss Howe is gifted with IA
true musical conception and with voice
whose wondruus beauty carries away her
hearers entirely. With the first notes of
The recltatlve she won all hearts by the ex-
qulsite soulful quality of her voice and the
beauty and grace of her person. The diff
cult passages in The Huguenots," usually
omitted We're sung by her with perfect
ease, and her technical surety and fnencss
IN rendering the trills and extremely diff
cult chromatics were almost forgotten IN
the absolute beauty of her voice. As Amine
IN La Sonambula" she was equally charm
ing, and we look forward to the delight of
hearing her, at no distant time, on the ope-
ratio stage.

MIR. Beecher in the War Time.

Mr.. Beecher's services in England in 1863
in behalf of the Union cause will be long
remembered. At that time he addressed
large audiences in the principal cities of
Great Britain on the questions evolved by
the civil war. Howling mobs crowded into
Mr. Beecher's meetings, fighting and pick
ing pockets by way of relaxation, and
sought in fury of blind and unreasonable
rage to drive the preacher from the plat
form. 81 had, he wrote, ''to speak extern
pore ON subjects the most delicate and diff
cult as between our two nations, where
even the shading of my words was of i'm
portance, and yet l had to outscream a mob
and drown the roar of multitude. The
streets of Manchester and Liverpool have
been filled with placards full of lies and bit
terness. For hours ! have striven to speak
amid interruptions of every kind-yellings,
hootings, cat-calls, derisive yells, imper-
tinent and insulting questions and every
conceivable annoyance-some personal VIC
lence." At Liverpool, where for three
hours he stood at bay before mob of rebels
and rebel sympathizers, his courage, pa
tience, manly bearing and eloquent appeals
TO the boosted British sense of fair play
won him thousands of friends throughout
the United Kingdom, and intensified the af
lection with which he was held by his coun-
trymen. The effects of his journey We're
soon seen in the changed tone of middle
class opinion in England, and, although the
aristocracy stood by their southern friends

The "OId Men" ON the Last Might of
the Session.

The old men of the Senate as they are
called showed no more signs of their all
nights work than the younger men, Nor
rill fully recovered from his long sickness
of last year, was at his best and as fresh
this morning as the most blooming baccha-
nal of the lower house. Evarts, ON the
other hand, is showing the signs of his adj
vancing years, and is less disposed than
ever 10 assume the burden of routine legis-
lation. Dawes, who was called an old man
in the recent contest in Massachusetts,, has
renewed his youth, and has shown as great
vigor in the closing days of the Senate in
the defence of the fertilization bill as he
ever manifested when the leader of the
lower house.

The end came softly and almost imper-
ceptibly at $3.50 Tuesday morning. The
great preacher fell away without "A spasm
perceptibly almost, his pulse grew weaker
and weaker Then came a moment when
there was no more life. None of those
eagerly waiting and weeping around the
death bed could have told the exact instant
all passed so gently. But DR.. Searle, watch
in hand, standing at the bed and holding
the pulse of the patient finally said The
end is here" Then the weeping friends
withdrew, Only Mrs. Reecher remained
an instant, and for the first time, sobbed
aloud once. She pressed her husbands
eyelids down, and kissed the dead lips.
Then she, too, burying her face i'll her
hands, went from the death chamber, The
family's fears that when the end should
come Mrs Beecher would break down ut
terlv were not realized She went to her
room, where her sons and daughters sur
rounded and comforted her A few mo

The Congregational ministers of Chicago
Mt their weekly meeting Monday got into a
noisy and disgraceful wrangle over a motion
made by Rev. f. f. Williams that tele
gram Of sympathy and coincidence be sent
10 Mrs Beecher. No sooner had Mr.. vii
liams taken his seat after making this mo
ton than II dozen ministers were on their
feet with loud protests against such step
being taken. They could not endorse Mr..
Beechers religious teachings and thought
the step might not be orthodox. One Of
their number would not extend sympathy
to one who had been charged with iInmor
ality and had not cleared himself of the
charge After bitter debate and after
voting twice on the subject the opposition
was withdrawn and resolution of sympa-
thy was passed. In striking contrast to
this action was that of the Methodist minis
ters who adopted by unanimous vote an
expression of regret and sorrow.
The outcome, to date, of the temperance
agitation in Keene, n. H., is the passage of
an order by the mayor and board of alder
men instructing the city marshal to enforce
the prohibitory law. This order was passed
in answer to a petition, which contained
1871 names, praying for the closing of the
saloons. The report of the proceeding,
when the order was passed says that tn,
gentleman who presented the petition tolC

OUR FIRST MARKET DAY.

IL was not success SO far as the amount
of produce brought in or the number of
people was concerned. But it was the big
snow storm that did it and everybody is
ready to try again next Monday. All our

We don't think it is necessary To say, for
the information of anybody here at home,
that this winter is keeping up its reputa-
ton to the very end, and that last Satur-
day night and Sunday brought the heaviest
snowfall Of the season, but some friends at
a distance may like to see the interesting
statement in print. The snow began fall
ing about 8 O'Clock on Saturday evening
and continued without cessation for full "a
hours. 1t was an old fashioned storm in an
old fashioned sense The accumulation was
about Is inches The depth of snow on the
river bottoms can now be hardly less than
three feet and on the hills it is two feet or
more greater. We doubt if Brattleboro
ever had more showed in appearance than
it presented last Monday morning. The
mounds or ridges Of snow where they have
been increased by Accommodations from the
roofs and walks are suggestive of anything
but spring or Il tropical climate. Retting
Bros. boast the talest mountain and they
have periodically decorated its - feet or
so Of height with American flags and bul
letin.
The main lines Of railroad kept snow
ploWs running over Sunday and there he
ing little or no wind, traffic was not much
delayed The narrow gauge ruad was less
ing the track up to the Y aud toward night
the big pillow was made ready to 20 ahead
up the river. The passenger train did not
leave So. Londonderry Monday morning,
the train men knowing it would be of no
use to attempt the trip until the pillow had
been through. During the day Monday the
pillow only got as far up as the salmon
hole above Newfane, the only way of prog
ress being 10 buck into the snow where
it lay in the cuts and then buck out, shovel
out and try again, The trip to Londonder
ry was completed about x o'clock Tuesday
evening. The passenger train came down
on its usual time Wednesday morning, but
at the Fits crossing this side Of the Dunn
merston quarry the engine got of the track
/ owing to the ice between the rails, and wa,
so delayed that the train did not reach Brat
/ tleboro until little before q O'Clock, Tn,
run back was made the same evening anC
trips have since been made as usual

There is a question, from the peculiar
phraseology, whether the agricultural eX-
pertinent station law, as enacted by Con
gress, really makes any appropriation of
money to carry out its provisions, The
fifth section, the only one relating to appro-
priations, says:
"The sum of Sl5,0 900 is hereby appropri-
ated TO each state, to be specially provided
for by Congress in the appropriations from
year to year from the sales of public lands,
the first payment to be made on the first
day of October, 1887"
This singular phraseology has been held to
be an appropriating clause, but close in
spection of it has given rise to doubts, the
weight of unofficial opinion being that no
money is appropriated If this is sustained
by the authorities the beginning of the new
work will be delayed until Congress acts

The Guard finished its exemplifed work
with a series of company manpuvres, in
Guiding wheeling by company, marching by
platoons and by fours, and marching TO the

The exhibition was one which called
forth high praise from all present. The

the best ever seen in the state The Guard
